Hebbville, I'd District.-Cupid, the SLY
scamp is around in this community again, and
there are whsperings that Hymen is about to APP
ply his halter. The victim this time is Mr.. Wm
e. Upton. Hei renovating his house by thorough
ly painting and newly furnishing the interior from
top to bottom. He has put up Leffel wind en-
gine the derrick of which is thirty-fve feet high
The engine has a four inch stroke and a twelve
foot wheel. A tank is fixed in the derrick, with
a capacity of 500 gallons which is to furnish the
house and barn with water. He is erecting car
riage-house, 24x16 feet; also shop, 14x16, for
general farm and engine work. In addition to
his present stock he bought three fine colts the
other day at A. H. Stump's sale in Green Spring
Valley. Two of the colts were sired by Walters
imported Percheron and the other by the celebra-
ted "Telemachus."
1t is much regretted that Mr.. George W. Long
ley, ifelong and highly esteemed citizen OF this
community, purposes selling off at the first oppor-
tunity and leaving the neighborhood. Mr.. Long
ley's farm is beautifully situated, in high state
of cultivation and is therefore well calculated for
a fine country residence.
There is great complaint from persons living on
either side of the Dogwood road, between En-
mart's Church and Mr.. Hemp's gate, for blocka-

side and also piles of stone and dirt. 1t is hoped
that the supervisor will attend to these obstruc-
Nbns at the earliest opportunity, as they are not
very unsightly.
The Rev. H. N. Greninger preached very able
sermon last Sunday night, from the text, "Destroy
this temple and in three days will raise it up"
which was listened to by the very large and at
tentive congregation present with more than usual
interest. The choir, recently organized, with Prof
II. Buppert leader, was like flock of sheep that
had lost their shepherd and gone estray, hence the
sweet melodies that enchant the soul were not
heard.
Owing to the inclemency of the weather the lit
erary society had no meeting Friday night OF last
week, but the previous meeting was very interes-
ting. Miss Maggie Sauter's reading was excel
lent The question, "Resolved, that childhood is
the happiest period of life," ably argued pro
and con and decided by the judges, Messrs. David
Smith, Henry Koomer and Emanuel Brown, in
favor of childhood.
Mr.. John Fryfoge, of Randallstown, is erecting
a fine dwelling house. Mr.. VIM. Frazer is doing
the carpenters work and Messrs Monterey and
Adolphus Smink are doing the plastering.
Miss Ida Pel is still terrible sufferer. 1t was
hoped that the recent change in treatment would
be productive of good results, but so far it seems
otherwise.
Query: Can property decided to trustees and
their heirs be sold by decree of Court by said
trustees without the consent of the heirs, some of
whom are yet too young to give evidence in court
The recent rains have given the grain and grass
in this section quite an impetus and the outlook
is more favorable and good yield more promis-
ing. Early planting has begun and is pushed
forward with the utmost spirit, hence the farmers
